Items, Batches and Locations

s you will already know, all stock control in Pakk is done through the ‘batch’ system. Multi-location inventory is achieved by assigning Locations to Batches.

• Items don’t have Locations assigned, only Batches do.

• When manually creating a new Batch, you can set a Location or leave the Batch as ‘Unlocated’ if you don’t want to track Location for that Batch or Item.

• Once a Batch has been created, you can’t change the Location simply by editing the Batch manually (you need use the ‘Relocate’ action, see below).

• Batches can only have a single Location, so stock within a single Batch cannot be split across multiple Locations. If you need to split out the stock of a Batch to multiple Locations, use multiple Batches.

• Once a located batch starts to get stock (either via a Stock Adjustment, Stock Transfer or Purchase Order), you will see the ‘Location Stock Levels’ for that Item start to reflect the different Locations at which stock (i.e. batches) are available.
